I recently visited Panera Bread in Fort Smith and found it to be a cozy spot for a casual meal. 🌼 I particularly enjoyed the broccoli and cheese soup - creamy, with perfect bite-sized chunks that were simply delightful!
However, the teriyaki chicken bowl was a letdown; the rice was dry, and the chicken wasn’t the best quality. The southwest chicken melt had great flavors but the bread felt a bit tough.
On the positive side, their lemon cookie was absolutely divine! Overall, it’s a decent place to grab a quick bite, but I hope they improve their food quality and cleanliness next time. 🍽️
